I'm trying to customize tmp_productformat.htm and have it stripped down to:

<FONT FACE="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica" SIZE="2">
<P><B>[cname]</B><BR>

[cdescription]

[FormatProductOptions sub]
[formathyperlinks sub]
[formatimage sub]

Price: [formatcurrency cprice]
<B>Qty:</B>
[formatquantity sub]
[formatbutton sub]
</FONT>


Everything is swell except nothing is showing up for [cdescription]. I went back to the default tmp_productformat.htm, and it doesn't display there either.

Is there a different token to use for the product description in v5? Or is something wrong somewhere?

TIA

Could you be mixing up cdescription with extendeddesc?

Just a thought!

Thanks for the reply, Jill! Unfortunately, that's not the problem.

Closing <P> tags are optional, not required, and in no way effect the display of text.

It is good practice to surround paragraphs using <P> and </P>. The browser will automatically add a line break when a you begin a new paragraph. A closing </P> tag is not required, unless the ALIGN parameter is used which effects the way text is displayed.

Greg, that really has nothing to do with the problem.

I wrote support and they said there's a bug related to ODBC connections to the database. It was a simple fix:

Edit shop$db.asp
locate this line
memcdescription = objrs("cdescription")
make it a comment by puutinga quote as first character

' memcdescription = objrs("cdescription")

If anyone else runs into this, this will likely be your solution.
